...Rogue's regiment" is a pretty poor slice of life in the raw. The plot is hyper-complicated, provides for but one pier six brawl, and leaves enough loose ends around to knit a pair of argyle socks. People are killed aimlessly for the sheer desire to spill gore, the heroine is permitted to warble a couple of songs, and there are even a couple of inscrutable references to the Russians. The role of Vincent Price left this observer completely baffled. He run guns to the natives, helped out former SS men, and was in general a sort of catch...

...Spills & Falls. Motormaker Wilson is a cattle breeder (Ayrshires), and at Windrow Farms, 20 miles from Longmeadow, has the largest private herd in Michigan. He used to play a fast game of tennis, still fishes and hunts occasionally, and is a good swimmer.

Bright Scottish kilts swish past the dull tan of Soviet uniforms; a U.S. admiral's navy blue is lightly brushed by the pastel veils of an Indian sari. Vodka, French wines and odd Eastern European cocktails spill on the oriental rugs from glasses negligently tilted or moved in too hasty gesticulation. There are lavish loads on two great buffet tables: platters of sliced veal and chicken, salads in splendid variety, tidy piles of caviar. In the center of one table is a roast pig (with a tomato...

...risked being run into the rail by trying to squeeze through on the inside of a front rider. He formulated it into a rule that Eddie still works by: "Never go outside of two or inside of one." Davison was insistent about never losing ground; it cost Arcaro one spill after another, trying to squeeze through between horses. The first bad tumble he had was from a plater named Gunfire at Chicago in 1933. "Don't let anybody tell you that a spill like that doesn't leave a rider jittery," says Arcaro. "I was gun shy for a long...
